Patent GB-0222172-D0 (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for filtering noise from a digital image
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2002-09-24
Abstract: As is known in the art, it becomes progressively difficult to identify an image region as being caused by noise as the area of that image region increases. The present invention encompasses the discovery that image data associated with smaller noise regions tends to mirror image data associated with larger noise regions. In accordance with the present invention, known techniques are used to accurately identify smaller noise regions. The image data extracted from these smaller noise regions is then used to aid in the identification of larger noise regions. Accordingly, the present invention increases the area of noise regions capable of being accurately identified compared to prior art noise identification techniques. Once large and small noise regions have been identified, the noise regions can be filtered using techniques known in the art.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1989-07-11
Abstract: A method of operating a data processing system, in particular a micro-computer, comprises a backup process in which a copy of every change made to a storage medium is recorded as the change occurs. Write operations for writing data to the storage medium are each preceded by a backup write operation to backup storage means, successive backup write operations being controlled so as to be stored as a sequential list in the backup storage means in the form of location blocks and data blocks to avoid the overwriting occurring in the storage medium. These backup write operations are executed at the level of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the microcomputer in such a manner that normal use of the computer is unaffected. The method also includes a restore process in which bad sectors of a destination storage device are avoided by translating the file allocation table (FAT) and directories of the original data.

Title: Locks
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1991-01-08
Abstract: An electronic lock is constructed to resemble the appearance and functionality of a conventional cylinder lock. Its key (22) has a bit (24) in which is mounted an integrated circuit chip (27) storing the key code and including a transmission coil for inductive coupling with reading means of the lock. The latter includes a coil (33) for generating a high frequency alternating magnetic field across a localised region of the keyway (12) concentrated via a toroidal ferrite core structure which defines a gap spanning the keyway through which the chip (27) passes when the key bit (24) is inserted. This core structure includes a U-shaped part (31) in the stationary lock housing (30) around which the coil (33) is wound, and two parts (35) mounted in the barrel, one to either side of the keyway (12), which register with the part (31) in the housing when the barrel is in the key-reading position. Further ferrite pads (28) may be mounted to either side of the coil in the key itself, to register with the ferrite parts (35) in the barrel. By this means, optimum flux coupling between the lock and key may be achieved, thereby minimising power consumption. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: Double acting type dynamic back clearance relief driving system
IPC: F16H57/12
Filed: 1993-12-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a double acting type dynamic back spacing removed driving system which comprises a non-reversible transmission worm gear and worm set including two sets of worms coupling with a worm gear. When the system is driven, one prime worm continues applying rotary driving force, and whether or not the worm gear is driven, such force continues to engage the prime work permanently. A second prime worm is to control displacement and also couples with another worm gear (or is co-axially secured to the respective worm gear with the same or different pitch). Due to the different driven speeds of the two sets of worms when rotating in opposite directions, a tensive state is produced between the threads of the two sets of worms and the worm wheel and back-lash is eliminated. On rotation in one direction, one set of worms is driven faster and the other set is driven more slowly. When the direction is reversed, the respective speeds of the sets of worms are also reversed. The speed difference in either direction of rotation is taken up by one set of torsion limiting transmission devices so that back lash is eliminated. <IMAGE>
